Love Eddie's, it's a dangerous ole place if trying to be on a diet or watch the calories, this american style dinner is growing their menu all the time and everything is so delicious yet bad... Ha ha, only cause I just can't avoid ordering the cheese and bacon fries! They are amazing! They serve everything from salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, hot dogs, etc. and all the yummy other things he expect from an American dinner like malts, shakes, desserts and so on. On my latest visit discovered they have alcohol now available, ok, not a full bar worth but if sipping on a Heineken while eating a burger is your thing then, call it out... They serve beer now!!!!! My fave order, the chicken fillet with cheese and bacon fries... Winner, every time!

Most people know Eddie Rockets don't they? If you're an American, then think Johnny Rockets and…read moreyou've got the idea. Chicken Fillet burger is still my fav and a smarty sunday for dessert, if the staff ever come over to you after dinner to see if you want some! I've reviewed Eddies elsewhere before and they're pretty much the same everywhere. I prefer this one over Stillorgan though becuase it's smaller and usually quieter :)

My partner and I went here for lunch today after a long day of walking around Dublin. We are…read moreAmerican and wanted to see their take on American diner food. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated in a booth. We ordered food a few minutes later. I got the chicken tender basket and a Ferrero Rocher shake, and my partner got the BLT basket and a Kinder Bueno shake. We also got the mac and cheese bites just to see how they were. The chicken tenders were hot but very small. The fries were alright but a little disappointing - something I experience in diners with some degree of frequency in the states, so I guess you could call this a point for accuracy? The BLT sliders were fine, nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese bites tasted like cafeteria mac that was battered and fried. Again, nothing special. The shakes were good but a bit watery - I like my shakes to be more creamy and thick. The food overall was lacking salt (and seasoning overall) and I saw other people putting salt and pepper all over their food too so I know it wasn't a me thing. The bathrooms weren't great. They were in the basement down a long hallway. They weren't very clean and the doors on the stalls were both broken and stuck on engaged, so you couldn't lock them and you couldn't tell if someone was in one without knocking. I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was in there and couldn't wait to get back out. The restaurant itself was an average level of cleanliness. The floors were dirty but it was a very rainy day so I could forgive that. The booths weren't in great condition - some had tears that originated from cracked vinyl. The staff seemed friendly enough but I did catch two of them talking about another table in another language. I didn't speak the language but they were blatantly looking at the table and pointing with their eyes. It made me feel a bit bad on behalf of that table - they were right behind us and hadn't done anything wrong. Overall this place is just alright. It's fine if you're starving and don't really care what you eat or if it's any good, but if you want a meal you will enjoy and remember then try a pub across the river instead.

Basic American diner, styled like 1955…read more If you are tired of steak pies and pub food, stop in here for a quick burger and milkshake! I say 'quick,' because they want you to eat and go! Hah! It does say 'Eat and go!' on their caps, but that is what I like to do anyway - no prob! The Clonakilty burger has beef, bacon, a fried egg, and even hash-browns! It is huge, but manageable - I ate every bite and licked my fingers! Most burgers with fried eggs are really messy, from the runny yolks - but this egg was cooked hard enough so that it didn't make a mess. Big improvement! The Cheesy Chicken burger was also good. The Bacon & Cheese Fries were decent; thick bacon bits were excellent, but the gooey cheeze-whiz style cheese lowered their delight-factor. Real grated cheese would've been much better. Tasty ice cream desserts, and fair prices, in a clean chrome diner. Restrooms downstairs were very clean. We liked it!

Good spot for a greasy burger, cheesy chips and milkshakes…read more Their burgers are average. Lots of different varieties on the menu. Chicken burgers,beef and even veggie, all with a diff toppings. Ther big, so if ur starving, burger def the way to go. Their chips are goooood. Plain cheesy chips are my fav. other good chips are the garlic cheese chips and bacon cheese chips. They have been serving these since I was very young, and they are still as luscious as they have ever been. The milkshake menu if forever growing. What started off as chocolate, vanilla or strawberry has now developed into an abundance of flavour options. Oreo, Apple pie, peanut butter and jelly, Nutella, birthday shake, strawberry cheese cake, brownie... The list goes on and on. My personal fav is the Oreo malt. Yum yummmm What brings me to eddies at the moment tho is their "Itzy nachos". Tortilla chips topped with fresh salsa, cheese sauce, hot jalapeños, sour cream and guac. And at only €3.50 a bowl. They are delllllish. Nachos nachos nachos. I wanna eat them all dayyy errrrry day. Eddies been around for years and years, so I find its always reliable. Good quality, fast food style grub in a fun american diner. Opens quite late also, which can be good and also dangerous, for late night cravings :)

The Stack: You really can't go wrong with a bacon cheese burger. Throw one some fried onions and BBQ sauce, to make it even more indulgent.

We decided to go here for dinner tonight on our first night in Dublin. Little did we realize there…read morewas a concert happening right next door, so there was a bit of a wait. Luckily they have it down to a science and were turning tables so fast the line was moving along steadily. We were given probably 2-3 minutes before a sever came up to take our order. Then since it is a concert night they ask you to pay before the food comes out. (No worries to us.) The service was good and the atmosphere was definitely dinner vibe. My girls got a Bacon Big Boy (hot dog with bacon and cheese) and the other a kids quesadilla meal. My husband got the smokestack burger combo and I opted for the tender basket with bacon and cheese on my fries. We also opted for a few milkshakes to share. I got a vanilla, my daughter got an Oreo and my hubby got a Rocher shake. (I will say the rocher shake was my favorite.) We were not able to eat everything as it was all so filling. My daughter asked if we could come back again tomorrow.

They have started charging ridiculous prices and the quality of the food has gone way way down. We dropped into the Eddie Rocket's on Parnell st for an impromptu pig out. We ordered ad it took them about 35 minutes for them to finally bring the food. We could see my burger under the hot lamps for about 15 of those minutes The Jalapeno Popper at one point was the pinnacle of burgers in Ireland for me. Lots of peppers, cheese, sour cream on a lash of hot sauce. What I got this time was kind of a sloppy mess (see picture). Most of the jalapenos fell out the back of the burger. My girlfriend's veggie burger was really dry. She used to love these but she was left very disappointed. All in all Eddie's was once a fantastic burger spot. Now they over charge for burgers that are not as good as they once were.

Here it's Eddie Rockets and there's nowhere quite like Parnell Street's burger joint for pre-movie munchies. It's pricey here in ways no establishment calling itself a diner should ever be - which is why Hubby Himself often pays - with two burgers, fries, onion rings, milkshake and diet coke (the lynchpin in weight gain) coming to about 30 yo-yos. ...For that money you could get a gorgeous Indian dinner form Bombay Pantry, fill the tank for a VW Lupo or buy a pre-worn hipster top from Urban Outfitters. Here, it's greasy spoon goodness. The service is prompt, the wait-staff efficient but quiet, and when your deep-fried side order isn't to your liking, they'll replace or refund without fighting (it really does happen in Ireland). And with a second entrance that leads out to the Cineworld complex and theatre it makes dinner and a movie easier than ever.

Despite it being late, we weren't rushed and the restaurant was packed. I love that you can design your own burger. There are so so many awesome choices. I added grilled pineapple, almonds, roasted red peppers, pesto, onion, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and cheese. The burger was delicious and the shoestring fries I got on the side were pretty great also. My husband got the dinner portion of chicken wings which was huge. The wings were pretty good, but I was happy to have my custom burger.

Not being a fan of buns, I ordered a "burger in a bowl" with blue cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, regular tomatoes, olives, mixed baby greens and vinagrette ..... strange but tasty ... there wasn't any evidence left in the bowl. We all loved the place and the food. Two of myboys particularly liked the bottles of root beer. I recommend it ... but only when its not too busy because you can't reserve tables.
